DUI and zero-tolerance — easy points

- Adult limit (21+): 0.08% BAC. - Commercial drivers: 0.04% BAC. - Under 21: zero tolerance (0.01–0.02% BAC). - Refusing breathalyzer = automatic license suspension ("implied consent"). - First DUI in Mississippi: suspension, fines, mandatory classes, possible ignition interlock.

Stopping distances (rule of thumb)

Total stopping distance = perception + reaction + braking. At 55 mph in dry conditions: ~250–300 feet. Wet roads roughly double that. Follow the 3-second rule for following distance; 4–5 seconds in bad weather.
